Zhang Tai was extremely efficient. After specifically reminding me of some ethical and legal matters, he still compiled the list and handed it to me.

As of now, the number of awakened people in Ping City is about twice that of Liyang City. Not all of them are locals, and more than half of them have not joined the Security Bureau.

Accidents, vendettas, wars, private fights...

In this world, on average, an awakened person dies every day, and a new awakened person is born.

According to statistics from the Ping City Security Bureau, in Ping City... from the third blood moon to now, a total of thirty-four awakened people have died.

There are twenty-eight people below level four and six awakened people at level four.

Ten of them chose to be cremated, temporarily clearing them of suspicion.

The files contain very detailed information about these Death Awakeners, so even if there are some that slip through the net, there won’t be much left.

Before finding the person behind the scenes, warm up first!

After randomly opening a page and determining the target, Qiao Yuan began to head towards the home of the first person who had awakened from death.

This time, Qiao Yuan did not use the strange door. Although traveling within the same city would not consume much special energy, a mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat.

You have to be thrifty when living your life, and your special energy must be used wisely!

After borrowing a motorcycle from Zhang Tai, Qiao Yuan started to act!

【Name: Wu Quanyou】

Age: 30 (unmarried)

【Occupation: Farmer】

[Character analysis: honest, hardworking, enthusiastic, helpful, responsible... (About 100 words omitted here)]

[Personal File: After the second Blood Moon arrived, he became an Awakened One. Because he was plowing the fields for the entire village, the village chief discovered him and reported him to the police. The Ping City Security Bureau received the news and investigated, confirming that he was a Mystical Awakened One, with abilities related to [Strength].]

Two months ago, a special incident occurred in the area, and the Security Bureau temporarily recruited Wu Quanyou to join the fight. While covering the retreat of a patrol, he fought three alien spirits alone and died of exhaustion.

【The body has been buried! 】

…

Daniu Village.

Wu Quanyou’s hometown.

Unlike other awakened people who died, Wu Quanyou had only one wish before he died, which was to be buried next to his ancestral grave in the backyard of his home.

Similar to other villages, old tiled houses and small Western-style buildings stand side by side in Danniu Village, and the gap between the rich and the poor is obvious at a glance.

Except for the main road which has been replaced with concrete, the rest are still dirt roads.

Under Zhang Tai's arrangement, Qiao Yuan became the superior leader and came to the village chief's house to learn some basic information in advance.

"Wu Quanyou has been without a father since childhood. He was raised by his mother alone. He's honest and obedient, but he doesn't like to talk. He's already 30 years old and still hasn't found a wife."

"But he's definitely a good hand at farm work. Whenever he's free, he'll go help out during busy farming seasons. If he'd been born a few decades earlier, he'd definitely be a hot commodity in the surrounding villages. But in today's world..."

"Not long ago, his luck turned, and he became an Awakened One. He was highly regarded by the higher-ups, and he was on the rise. Several families even approached him with marriage proposals, but... who knew that the child would suddenly pass away? Sigh... He was left with only his bedridden mother..."

"Fortunately, God is on his side. His mother has recovered from her illness recently."

“…”

Two people walked on the muddy road.

Following the direction of the village chief's finger, Qiao Yuan saw a low tiled house.

"Has anything strange happened in the village recently?" Qiao Yuan asked.

"No..." The village chief shook his head as he walked.

"Are you sure?"

"Our Daniu Village has always been peaceful... Nothing strange has ever happened. But now that you've mentioned it, there's something I can't quite explain. It's not that strange, but recently, some villagers reported seeing someone secretly working in their fields in the middle of the night..."

"I checked during the day and nothing was wrong. Then I thought that since there was no loss and nothing was missing, I didn't want to cause trouble for the leaders, so I didn't report it." said the village chief.

"It must be the gods appearing." The village chief added at the end.

“…”

…

At this moment, the sky gradually darkened and a light drizzle began to fall.

The red bricks and gray tiles were covered with moss and looked very old. A few drops of rain leaked from a corner of the roof, dripping onto the ground with a slight sound.

There were several farm tools such as hoes and shoulder poles placed at the door.

"Guifang, the leaders from above are here to visit you..." the village chief patted the wooden door and called out.

Soon, footsteps were heard from inside the door. A hunchbacked old man opened the door and looked at Qiao Yuan curiously with his cloudy eyes.

After the village chief gave a brief explanation, the old man warmly invited Qiao Yuan into the house.

The room was filled with dampness and the air was filled with a musty smell. There was nothing in the room except a few wooden tables and chairs.

"Guifang, God bless you, your health is getting better and better."

"This is the leader sent by our superiors. If you have any difficulties at home, please feel free to tell me. By the way... I have also rented out the resettlement house in the city for you. This is the deposit for this month." The village chief took out a stack of cash and said.

Then he explained to Qiao Yuan.

"Boss, she said she didn't want to live in the city, so I rented it out for her..."

It is indeed not as comfortable for an elderly man in his sixties to live alone in the city as in his hometown.

After a brief exchange of condolences and a memorial service for Wu Quanyou in the backyard, Qiao Yuan took the village chief out of the house.

The tomb is empty!

"Village chief, I remember that the Awakeners who died fighting for the Security Bureau received a lot of pensions... Didn't her family get any other compensation besides the resettlement house in the city?" Qiao Yuan asked casually.
